As a child, those flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz always scared the crap out of me. To this day, I'm still scared of flying monkeys. Fortunately, I have not encountered any. But, if I did, I'd be scared ... and so should you.
People always say "Fly, my pretties, fly!" but she doesn't actually say it. In the musical Wicked (not that I'm going to link the two, they're seperate), Elphaba DOES say it after the monkeys are set free.
They' landin' in yo' dark woods, snatchin' yo pretties up, so you' better hide yo' girls, hide yo' scarecrows, annn' hide yo' tin men 'cuz they' takin' err'body out heah'.
@davidemerling I think it was a technical error. Note WWOTW stops talking when she rubs her hands together. The PA may have started the sfx at that point accidentally.
I simply love flying monkeys. Check out our new video "Star Trek Meets the Wizard of Oz" trailer.

I guess the lesson learnt is that you should always carry a banana with you wherever you go

This is probably the only scene that scared the crap out of me as a kid.
